Back to work, I am. Fun. Fun. Fun.
Seriously, though, five days on vacation with the family was a lot of fun. Took some cool video of the children, somewhat enjoyed a trip to Lincoln, slept, worked on a moonlighting project, etc. The list goes on. I had several long stretches away from a computer. I had a half day to write. All in all, I feel quite refreshed. It’s true that once back on a computer, I could have done with out reading this or this or a lot of goofy emails. The first link parses the difference between an ideal and a vision. Basically, an ideal is not readily quantifiable, therefore it is useless. The second link is just disturbing (but it’s subtle). Ugh.
I plan on finishing the Next Awakening series of posts. They are on paper at this point. Transcription is not my strong point. (Not much really is, come to think of it.) I also spent some time developing material for Sycarion and Prairiecomber, but more drafting than anything. We’ll see. Lots of links to post that I may never get around to. Not much else.
I’ve been encouraged about recent events, especially those pertaining to unity. I look forward to more fellowship and dialogue as the days move on. I had decided at the beginning of the year to speak more to unity and to what can be done. I admit, it’s been difficult.
On that topic, something to think about. Why do the one-another passages have to be implemented? A friend pointed out to me how peculiar that phrase is. It’s like trying to implement Acts 2:40. Do we implement saving ourselves from this corrupt generation? A better example might be Ephesians 4:2, how do you implement complete humility, gentleness, patience, and forbearance? It is possible to put into practice a methodology to fulfill this passage? This isn’t saying that discipleship is wrong, teaching younger men as counseled in Titus should be implemented. When it comes to some one-another passages, it seems like we are trying to implement the Holy Spirit into the lives of Christians by human means. (Galatians 3:3)
More on the way.
